CHAR[INDEX] ARRAY ASSIGNMENT INTO GLOBAL VARIABLE CAN CAUSE MEMORY CORRUPTION ASSERTION FAILURE | |
product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 | |
Problem description: | |
Consider the following rowtype: create row type "informix".row_wh_costos ( cod_emp decimal(8,0), cod_pto decimal(4,0), int_art char(15), ean_art decimal(14,0), ean_rel decimal(14,0), fec_mov date, num_sec decimal(2,0), costo decimal(9,4), reg_mov decimal(12,0), ord_mov decimal(8,0), usr_grb char(20), fec_grb date, hor_grb char(8) ); and a global variable definition in a stored procedure like: DEFINE GLOBAL p_wh_costos row_wh_costos DEFAULT NULL; After initializing the global variable, an assignment like this can cause memory corruption: let p_wh_costos.usr_grb[20] ="X"; The top most part of the stack upon assertion failure looks like: (oninit)afsig_handler (oninit)stcmpr getglobdata <--- (oninit)getvardata (oninit)ev_procvar_ret (oninit)new_eval as a global variable entry in the session's global variable list has been corrupted by the assignment. | |
